I have gambled on millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet

Wager $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20

Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet

Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet

Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar wager

If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
